It was my first day of school. A group of my new classmates surrounded me and asked that most critical of questions: What team do you root for?</p>

The New York Yankees reportedly offered Jewish free agent Kevin Youkilis a one-year, $12 million contract.</p>
<p>
Youkilis, a three-time All Star for the Boston Red Sox before being traded to the Chicago White Sox in June, was leaning toward accepting the offer, a source told The New York Times.</p>
<p>
The offer would have Youkilis play third base, replacing Alex Rodriguez, who is expected to be sidelined until next June because of hip surgery. The Cleveland Indians are also said to be interested in signing Youkilis, according to the Times.&nbsp;</p>

When I go see the Orioles play the Yankees in the Bronx, I feel like a Marrano in 15th-century Spain, hiding my true identity for fear of being punished for my beliefs. </div>

The last time the <a href="http://baltimore.orioles.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=bal&amp;sv=1">Baltimore Orioles</a> and <a href="http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=nyy&amp;sv=1">New York Yankees</a> met in the playoffs before this week, I spent a few surreal moments schmoozing with George Steinbrenner in his owner&rsquo;s box in Yankee Stadium, trying very hard not to let on that I was a fervent Orioles fan hoping his team would lose that day &mdash; and every day after that until the end of time.</p>

<p>When I was growing up, baseball was all about fathers and sons.</p>
<p>I am grateful that my Dad transmitted his love of the game to my older brother and me, and am reminded of it each spring, when the promise of a new season still fills me with childlike excitement.</p>
